Problems removing passenger side motor mount
I am trying to remove my turbo and one of the steps is to remove the passenger side motor mount.
I was able to remove the bolts from the mount no problem. I placed a floor jack under the front right corner of the oil pan and I raised the engine to the point that I am lifting the whole front end of the car. I still don’t get enough room to remove the mount.
Anything else I can try?

You are referring to the bracket right?
Ensure you have all the bolts removed should be exactly 4 bolts. Does the bracket even budge? If so it's just a matter of wiggling and maneuvering it out, thats all.

I am using Jeff's instructions here: http://www.mazdamaniac.com/upgrade/G...20Upgrade.html
Steps 9-10-11 is what I am trying to do.

Yeah, very strange. I only need about 1/2" extra to pull it out.
Does the motor mount bracket need to be removed to take the turbo out?
I don't see it mentioned anywhere in Jeff's instructions.
